End of Year 2006

Last day of Year 2006. ( no particular feelings at heart now, but well, there will be those memories eteched, as always) Just neutral feelings. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Going to go to Pasir Ris Park for countdown later w my whole family. There's going to be fireworks, lots of colours ;D Anyh, just had a sumptuous dinner w everyone, and (yes, finally) we also watched Step Up! Everyone go " Yeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaa". Step Up is really good! All the dancing, grooving around & as usual all those GBR stuffs. Heh, and Channing Tatum is really a hot guy :p

-

Alright.

Since Year 2007 is coming up and also Melvyn had asked us to think about our new year resolutions. Honestly speaking, I don't really, literally, set new year resolutions because I don't think I will follow them consistently, checking if I'm keeping up :/ (shrurgs)

I did think through of what resolutions to set for myself. (Spiritually, Mentally, Socially, Emotionally & Academically). I'm going to pen down those resolutions after I come back from countdown, and keep it in a secret place. No peeping Toms/ Sarah(s)! ahahahah. No Sarahs one right? Heehee, nevermind. My own creation ;D



Mixed Emotions


I feel like having a personal DIGITAL cam

It's horrid & bad when I just cannot grasp what the teacher is blabbering about for surds, and remainder theorem. It feels horrid! :( You can somewhat say that I am suffering for Amath. I'm really trying my best to persuade myself to take things easy, and slowly understand. But, it's just that when I see one question, and at times I just don't know how to start solving it. That kind of feeling just living hell. I feel disappointed. I did not meet the expectations required. The feeling is really bad, honestly & seriously. It's terrible! >:/

And there was this lesson where I really want to go once more, to help myself understand better. But its impossible because the next day I have a whole day for prefects' meetings and preparation for orientation. Sometimes, I'm just torn between 2 things. I'm sure many others experience the same situation as me at times. So yes, I have to persevere! :-)

-

Chatted a lil' with Soph about orientation. St. Margts will be having this Grand Finale thing, which in my opinion seems/sounds kinda cool. They are going to have this Project Runway kind of thing. It seems interesting! But PL has really nice and interesting things planned too! I shan't reveal anything here. The time will arrive for you to find out ;D

Finally, Mummy made her visit to Popular to buy the items that we need for school! It's after one whole month of saying " I want to go to Popular to buy all your things." PLUS the 20% voucher which expires tomorrow. So, we were lucky peeps! & I saw 4 acquaintances/friends today: Wen Shuang, Wen Yi with family, Theora (Mr Chin's tuition), DA-JIE( actually, already seen her in tuition).

Tomorrow is the 31st of Dec, oh I suddenly remembered! (Happy Birthday Noelle! ;)) & it's really really fast. Year 2007 is coming, just 33 more hours. I'm pretty excited to go back to school. Excited to meet my new classmates (new class), my FT, CT, going back to Lor Ah Soo, having guzheng practices etc. OTOH, a lil' scared feeling for next year. It's always the same old feeling :P

2 Days Leadership trng camp

I hope that the Internet connections for other Singaporeans will come back on soon, due to the Taiwan earthquake. Life without the Internet is bad. I just read the newspaper this morning and goodness, traders and people who invest in the market are losing money because they cannot get in touch with their traders. It's millions and billions of dollars that they are losing. So, hopefully by the time the connection gets back, they won't lose that much.

-

Oh and from today's training, Melvyn said something that I felt it was cute and good! It is " yayapapaya!". Sounds funny, and good right? Haha! So, this is going to be my new funny word ;D

Anyways, the 2 day leadership training camp with Lifeskills Enrichment had just ended. For the past 2 days, I've learnt quite a bunch. Trust is one certain and a must factor to have amongst us, among the Board. To me, each and every one of us do trust one another. Confidence too.

We were taught the S.M.A.R.T way to set our goals.
Specific
Measurable-------- Able to see the difference after you've achieved your goals.
Achievable---------- (about the same as R)
Realistic------------ Do not set goals that you need to jump for, but do not set goals too low too. Set it just right.
Time-line---------- Giving yourself a time frame that you think you can achieve the goals.

During Panache focus group discussion, it dawned upon me that I don't really have the panache, the confidence to carry out my duties, specifically duty as a class prefect while taking a senior class. Almost all the points that each of us shared, almost all were reflected on me.

This happened at the beginnng of this year when I took 4C2. Well, it really was a good experience to learn from, but during the process it was tough. The ultimate tough nut to crack because well, there were quite a number of disobeying students :/ Honestly, sometimes I just felt like crying, felt like giving up because I couldn't handle them, couldn't get them to listen to me no matter how hard I tried. What I felt at that time was lousy and I felt that I was incompetent, seriously. I'm really grateful to Cheryl for being there to give me the encouragement & advice :-)

And what Melvyn said today really triggered me to think. It's about confidence, why we lose confidence, why we lose the drive in us sometimes. He said, we must always think of who we are doing it for, where do we come from whenever confidence is tested in us. Because it is for the passion for serving the school, from PLPB, with God putting us here with a purpose. I do agree.

Despite not being from a Christian family background, but for the past 13 years in PL, I am very much brought closer into the Christian family, with Lord Jesus Christ. I always remember what PLPB (primary), Ms Lee said that we were in for a purpose, in my class Ms Judy Yeo said that the reason why we were in PL, was because God has a plan for us, a purpose for us to be in this school and I've always believed in that. Yes :-)

Besides, for today we also learnt about the DISC profiling. I've done this personality profiling before by Trailblazers and yes, I'm a Pure C (or) in other words a High C. No doubt it's true and the demostration given by Melvyn on " How does each personality would learn swimming" is really hilarious. And for C, he said that we would go and read all the books available (ie. Swimming for Dummies) and then we will learn all the facts right and that's how we learn it. I nearly died of laughing! P.S. I didn't equip myself with my swimming skills this way ;D But after listening to his explanation, I felt that I have some S charcateristics in me too. Again, I only did the survey once and it stated: High C :-)

Ohoh! & we were called PANDEMONIUM, and we were spilted up into 4 different tribles (Spitfire, Coudsveil, Atlantis and Sandstorm). I'm a Spitfire-er! Wheee~ Our flag rocks! What a pity I don't have a camera to capture the beautiful piece of art. (lol) Trible members were fantastic and this camp, is my 3rd camp tgt with Lina. Haha, we have a lot of fate uh.

& during today's ice breakers we played this game where everyone has to sit down on a chair with each person facing at their right side, legs closed. Then everyone had to lie down on one another's tummy. (the funny part was the ticklish feeling, and some people kept laughing like Doreen, Zi Qi, Charlene Poh) Slowly and steadily, the sec 3s remove the chairs and boy! the structure is really fantastic! ;D We did it! Whooo~ (trusting one another)

Platinum Rule: "Do to others what they would want you do to them."

-

'm going to miss Amath tuition tmrw (awwww), but but I'm going to go for the Saturday class! Sec 1 Orientation meeting & Board meeting tomorrow. So, tonight, I got to sleep as early as I can to recharge and be energised for a brand new day's challenge ;D



Christmas

The City Harvest Christmas celebration (23rd Dec) @ Singapore Expo was just fantastic! I mean, it was my first time actually attending for a church service, and I felt that it was really good. During worship time, when the worship leader lead everyone through the Christmas carols, the atmosphere was superb! You can just experience the christian spirit, worshipping the Lord wholeheartly. The feeling is just great, with everyone just opening their hearts and singing loudly ;D There was also a drama, talking about the Virgin Womb; the miracle of Mary having Jesus in her womb who was actually Godsend. For the drama, it's 5 stars! After the service, there was this carnival. Alright, we had this free ticket from Li Min's friend; Nicholas. Oh wells, it went pretty hooo-haa! We sat Meteorite, and boy, that ride was super giddy, fast, crazy, topsy-turvy & you'll just go " Ahhhhhh!". Everyone just stands upright, then the machine will start spinning, and after awhile it will just tilt at a certain angle. Continuously, the angle tilted will become bigger and bigger. I must say, it was a day well-spent! Thank you Li Min for your invitation! ;) She's really a sweet junior!

Christmas Eve, was like any other year. No countdown sessions, I slept really early (around 22oo) Normally, everyone will get really excited about Christmas eve, but this year, I'm not really into the festive mood. Well, maybe just a little but not to the extend of being so high and crazy to countdown. Haha ;)

Science(s) tution on Christmas Eve. And boy! Quite a number of people didn't turn up?", giving that kind of joking expression :p Tuition has been going on quite well so far, with all the new things that I've grapsed. Not too bad, I quite enjoy the lessons. Heeeehee, but somehow Amath passes really quickly and science, hmmm.. really long. I guess it's because of those super long notes that we have to copy from the board.

Oh oh, and the new made friend of mine, she's in Choir and her school is in Seng Kang. & she just lives nearby. Blk 239. Well, but I find that her way of speaking is a little loud and she uses a lot of Singlish, which sometimes is quite irritating (I find it).

-

This year, I'm celebrating Christmas @ one of my aunts' house. Sisters and I went there earlier to catch some movies. That was our initial plans but in the end, because of the computers we were distracted. Heeheee. But we managed to complete 1 movie; Princess Diaries 2 (Royal Engagement). It's really a nice and romancy kind of movie ;D

Just had dinner and the air-conditioner is really strong until my goosebumps were popping out. Haha, maybe it's just me "allergic" to the cold, because the others didn't really feel cold :/ Gonna receive prezzies later on. Wheeee~ I wonder what I will receive from Min gugu ;)

May everyone have a blessed & joyous Christmas! And may Yr 2007 be a great one for you all! ;D



First time back to New Campus ;D

New school looks pretty nice ;D Except for some of the dark colours used. The colours just make the whole atmosphere feel a little dense. Honestly, when you see the appearance of the school, it gives me that kind of unhappy mood because of the dark colours used. Nevermind nevermind, I'm sure the school has a good reason for using those colours. Nothing to be upset about. Oh oh, and when standing at the ground level, I felt like a dwarf w all the tall tall ceilings, and the I feel that everything seems kind of compact. A little squishy feel, but not to worry, I'll get used to this feeling really soon. Heeeheee ;)

He zou today was quite alright, but I sensed that Lao Shi wasn't in a very good mood. He didn't litereally scold anyone, just raise his voice. Sigh :/

A part of me feel like taking gz lessons @ Arts. But when I have this feel, the other part of me will say no no, you can't, think of the money. Ahhh! But with piano, it's unlikely. (gz fee is more ex) The thought of dropping piano did come into my mind, and I even consulted Grace about it. And she told me not to drop piano since I've already attained such a grade, it's quite a waste to drop it now. I really don't know what to do. And now, I'm enjoying piano lessons ;D (w all the songs and theory) I love both and I enjoy doing both. However however however, I think I can only choose one of them.

Sometimes I really think and wonder, what will happen to all my piano certs when I grow up. Do I really need them? & I feel that I'm greedy in a way sometimes. It's because I am the only one among my siblings to have music background (except for Alcina-gz). And sometimes I just find that Mummy is just spending too much money on me. I mean, spending money on grooming me and all. I know the finance is going to be uber tight if all of us learns a music instrument. Uh! I just feel that sometimes when meimei can't get certain things right, then they will condemn her and say that she isn't good and all. And their words demoralizes her, making her feel lousy of herself and all which therefore affect her performance even more! Arghhh, all this is so full of shit! >:(

-
& I just hope that Amanda will take things astride and not dwell into too much. She's a strong girl and yes, I'm confident that she will pass through this. Everything in this world will come to an end, somehow someday. Not to worry or to be sad about because this means that they are together with our Heavenly Father. Your grandma will be blessed and taken care of.



Rainy season


























再接再厉



Grp photo of SATU ALWAYS @ the weigh-watch(??) Low elements ;)

Got back the results for Guzheng Grading examination today. &&, what I want to say is that Lao Shi's acting skills (or) you can also say, his way of teasing/making jokes is really drastic. But it's nice of him to act, because it makes the whole process much more interesting & exciting. Rather than, just going to him and next, he'll tell you what you achieved, that will be sooo boring. Right? Overall, I'm satisfied and happy with the results I've gotten. At the beginning, I thought I wouldn't be able to maintain my standards, but I proved myself wrong, so once again, a Distinction. YES, YES, YES!!! :-D Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooo!





But like what Lao Shi said, better not be too happy about the results because it doesn't mean that you are really good (for those who have got good results) and it also doesn't mean that you are really that bad (for those who have got not so good results). I still have to be patient and diligent to learn all the new skills, learn them right and just learn the correct tactics ;) A long way to go. G4 is gonna be hard, no doubt about that. So, got to pump in extra extra effort. 再接再厉! To everyone out there who took the grading exam: 再接再厉!






:D



Spot the Differences




Wahaha, this photo. I wanna laugh when I think about the process of taking this photo with our Head Prefect for Yr 2007. Such an honour ;)

Mmm, but really after comparing myself with Renee, I don't see much similarities in both of us. Except for our height, our parting for our hair, our smile (we show our teeth), our eyes (small small eyes. Hee!) & our eyebrows (there's this arch in both our left eyebrows and our right looks similar). I don't see anything similar after all those that I've listed.

From the back and side view, sometimes other students mistake me as Renee. I don't enjoy myself, being mistaken as Renee. Simply because, I am not that unique in my own way (for physical appearance). I have thought of cutting my hair, so that I will not have the same/similar back (or) side view as Renee, but when I relate this to guzheng, I will just abolish this thought of mine ;) It's better to have long hair, so can french plait and it looks neater ;D & ps, I think if both of us let down our hair, we will look completely different! Yes, different! Because her hair is rebonded, so straight and she looks pretty when her hair is let down. But me, a complete different story, because of my layered hair. Poof, a lil' untidy to me :(

-

Piano was good :DD.

Well, I'm almost done with Giga (A1). Just need a lil more practice and make some parts more legato and I'm done for A1. Album Leaf, it will be a beautiful song after I've learnt and familiarise my fingers to all those notes/chords. It sounds boring with the chords :/ Like those kind of montone feel. Nevermind, I got to work hard with S.H, then off to B.H and the whole song will come out nice. Yeahyeah yeah!

It's just 12 more big days to Christmas. Lovely presents to be received but it also means I have not much time left for homework. %^%^#*&#*%*&(#* This procrastinating thing is coming again ':(

Oh and for once (after 3 amath lessons), there is NO AMATH HOMEWORK! *3 cheers!* No more frustrating moments of brooding over and thinking over each question and getting stuck there because I'm just silly. (at least for 2 days) I sure hope that Soph's wrist gets better. Poor girl, sprained it during gym. Rest well & take good care! &&&, I saw W :D

1 thing to be unhappy about is the weather. Everytime during amath lesson day, the weather will be making fun of us. Why don't rain in the morning, must rain in the late afternoon? Whatsmore, it's like rain then stop then heavy rain that kind of thing. Bad bad weather. But, a nice thing is that because of the rain, I saw a rainbow on Tues, just when I left my doorstep. It has been ages since I last saw one. Now, the record has been renewed. (lol)

Everyone, better take good care of yourselves during this cold weather season. Hohoho! ;D



Below are just some snapshots from Megacamp, by the teachers.

This is just part 1 for the whole group shot. Too many people, and it got divided into 3 parts. Heehee :D





Magic


SATU ALWAYS! A group photo on the last day, on the most memorable shaky bridge!

But the first magician was a little so-so. Maybe it's because it's too early and there weren't many kids around. The atmosphere wasn't there. The second magician, she did a great job, with her balloon sculptures. The young & old were happy ;)

Being a magician seems nice. You can wow the children and the crowd with your magic. Not only do you wow the crowd, but I feel that being a magician, you can bring joy, happiness to one. I think it's a noble thing ;) I hope to learn magic some day.








It's a Brand New Day

(continue from Orchard shopping)

When we were at Orchard yesterday, we saw a group of transvestites. It gives me creeps whenever I think about what I saw. From the back view, they looked like normal ladies. I think, ladies who has a more sexy back view than normal ladies. Ha! & some of them looks really pretty but when I knew that they were transvestites, it was just... =/. That kind of "ewww" kind of feeling. It's sad. But I do respect them, I think really, they must have really gone through quite a lot (or) "suffered" that made them want to change their gender.

Personally, I have not had a personal encounter with a transvestite. I think it will feel a little odd. Imagine there is a this pretty and sexy lady and you are serving her at the cashier. But when she speaks, it's actually a man's voice. I will feel funny, no doubt about it.

A Productive Day

Happy Birthday, Zenia! :D

December is here, which means Christmas is coming soon! & it also means that school is going to re-open really fast! Mmm, thinking of school, there are still some assignments left for me to complete. Heh :/

8 Dec;
We (grandpa, gugu(s), uncle ming, sisters) went to Uncle Gary's new opened SUNWASH Laundry located at Upper Changi Road. Not bad, first day and the shop has already 3 customers. I wish them good fortune! ;) The residents there are quite friendly, most of them are old folks. Mmm, and everyone contributed to the publicity by giving out the fliers to the cars around the Housing Estate.

Whilst giving out, I recalled about what Wei Kee told me about her brother's friend, who gave our fliers in between lessons. And, really I told Yann Gu-gu about it, and the deal is not bad. 1 building for $20. So, if I'm hardworking enough, and I do 10 buildings, it will be $200 a day! Wow, that's good. Maybe next time, I can do this kind of job. Just giving out fliers, I think it's quite a simple job ;) No need to see people's face, no need to talk, just do the manual work.

Next stop was a long drive to Orchard. Basically, all of us just went around Orchard to look for the ideal gifts that we want from our "Mrs Santa Claus(es)". Today's trip to Orchard has been productive. There are still quite a number of things on my list, but waist pouch is the first priority. I've been to quite a number of shops, but none of them appeals to me :( Nevermind, there is still time. Ha! Or if not, if there really isn't one that catches my eye, then I substitute it with another item.



-

Amath tuition was good. Mmm, but Soph and I were late. I was waiting for Soph to meet me at Cold Storage. Bus 136 service is really long, it takes so long to come. Thankfully there was Madeliene, she helped us to reserve 2 seats. We hurriedly ran to Mavis, and climbed up to the 4th level. Sweatead it out man.

Lesson was pretty alright. It's managable. Mmm, but when I did the homework yesterday night, I encountered several problems; either careless or just suddenly forgot what to do. Thanks to Lina and Vanessa ;) Ok, and today we learnt the long division. Whoosh, headache that one. It takes time to master this. I have to do this meticulously, once wrong, have to re-do the whole sum and sometimes it gets frustrating.

Conclusion: Amath is tough. But I'll try my best to learn the topics well :D

-

The clock is going to strike 1am soon. Wow, this is my first time blogging so late in the night.
That's all for this entry.

Happy Holidays! :D (1 more month to go)



Enchanted thoughts

Seriously, my memory is failing. I don't know what I can do to help myself. It was yesterday that I made an agreement with Vivien that I will lend her a storybook today, and I'll meet her @ 5pm just opposite the secondary school bus-stop. I totally forgot about the appointment until she initiated chat with me at MSN awhile ago. Goodness, this is getting bad :( &, sorry Vivien.

-

Lao Shi taught us a new skill today. It's called: fan pa. Mmm, there are 3 different practices for it. It's funny when I think of what Lao Shi said of the counting/tempo. We have to count "1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc." Lao Shi said that we are doing aerobics, because we have to lift up our RH when we play the first note, and we have to make a "u-turn" when it's at the 3rd beat. Yes, so guzheng actually does exercise! We are fit! :D

Sometimes I really wonder how is it like to talk back to a teacher. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I will do it, it's just an imagination. Of course, I don't have the guts to do so. But sometimes, I admire those people who are loud, not afraid to speak their stand. An eg just happened during gz lesson. ( D & Lao Shi) I think it's just that the way of thinking clashes, which leads to some misunderstanding of what, what each of them say. Mmmm, but sometimes it's nice to have Lao Shi cracking up some jokes about 45 deg, or about the prefect (haha) or about twin towers (hee!) It just livens up the mood ;)

I'm thinking of what Lao Shi said, going to Artrastrophere for lessons. It's expensive. Alcina is now learning over there. Just G2 and the fee for a month adds up to $180. It's just a little lesser than my piano fee. High, isn't it? I really don't know how much the fee will add up to when one goes up to the next level, and the next and the next. Woooosh. And considering what Lao Shi said, it's quite shaky not to have a steady and strong player. And since, he opened this suggestion to us, I think most of the sec 2s will be going there for their lessons soon. I'm considering to stop piano and concentrate on guzheng. But, otoh, I don't know if I will be able to go back to my standard now when I stop for a period of time. Lalalalaal, this is once again, decision making time. Hohoho

-

Tomorrow is the opening of Uncle Gary's laundry shop. Gotta wake up early tomorrow morning to attend the opening ceremony. Then, off for Christmas shopping with aunts @ Orchard. And the final stop for the day: Amath tuition! :D (looking forward to it)



Feed me Gingko Nuts, please!

My memory is deteoriating =/ It's like I cannot remember what I have done a few days ago, and my schedule is driving me a little nuts. And it was last Friday that my aunts had plan to go Christmas shopping. In the end, it is postponed to this Friday after many clashes here and there. And this Friday I have tuition, but I think I will still be able to make it for the shopping trip ;) I am getting busy this December. And in November, I was slacking away, saying that there is too much time to spend. Let's see my schedule:

<u>Anna's schedule for each week

Mon >> Yoga class (2015-2130)
Tues>> Amath tuition (1745-1915)
Wed>> Piano (1715-1815)
Thur>> Guzheng (1100-1600)
Fri>> Amath tuition (1630-1800)
Sat>> Free! :D
Sunday>> Science tuition ( Phy: 0915-1045; Chem: 1300-1430)

So, Saturday is my so called free day. The whole day for myself. Sunday is the busiest day of the week. I have to go and come back then go and come back. It will be better if the timing is just consecutive, then I need not travel to and fro. Hmmmph :( Thankfully, Amath tuition is not just fixed on Tue & Fri. I can change it when something clashes. That is a good thing :D

-

Mmm, piano was so-so. I give up on that Richard Claydeman piece. But when I think again, I just need more practice to familiarise my fingers to the chords and everything will sound good. OTOH, I don't feel like playing it anymore. I want to focus more on the G7 pieces. So far, I've been making good progress. I've managed to learnt the first song in 2 lesson. Just 2 more lessons to go, and the song will be good. Yay! :D

I'm eating raisins now. I haven't eaten my dinner yet :( When I called home after lesson, Mummy said there is no more food left at home. Wah! And I'm really unlucky, I didnt' bring my purse out. But even I bring it, I only have $3+ with me. Such a pathetic soul.

Talking about purse. I had an embarassing encounter this afternoon when I was walking (making my way to piano class). I was near the traffic light @ Macs (the opposite side) , and a guy came towards me and started blabbering which charity did he come from, the purpose of the charity etc. So I cut short his explanation by stopping him and asked: " So you are asking for donation?" He nodded and replied yes. After I agreed to donate, it was at that moment when I opened my bag and shit, I forgot to bring out my wallet! Wah! I tell you, that moment when I said "I forgot to bring my purse", was so damn embarassing! How in the world can I forget to bring my wallet and my keys too, when I go out? You see, my memory is just getting worse. I need gingko nuts! :/



A wonderful Start for Amath! :D

I just came back from Amath tuition. Wohoo! The tuition lesson was superb! Why so? Well, even though Ms Chee's speed is kinda fast, but slowly I managed to adapt to it. And she's one super great and fast math teacher! Just look at the way she does the simultaneous problems on the board, it's just zoom zoom zoom! A few seconds, that's all she took! Ok, and the interesting is that she taught us how to work smart and fast! It's really a good method. Hohoo, but it needs some time to get used to them. This is the WONDERFUL thing! She has this point system. And for every problem that she asked us to do, the first person who gets it, gets 3 points. The second, 2 points and the third person, 1 point. And you can join up with a friend, and collate up to 400 points and you can exchange it for cash! (I forgot the amount! Ha!) That's cool, ain't it? There are other rewards too, like chocolates or fullscap. But come on, I think everyone is aiming for the cash! Haha, be practical man. You have the money, you can buy anything you want. Right? So, today I've collected 4 points. I'm joining up with Soph, so I think today we have collected about 8 points! Yeah! ;) This first lesson of Amath with Ms Chee, is just marvellous!

Let me do some rewinding for today's things done.

Ok, at first there was a plan to play basketball with the usual BB gang. At the beginning, I told them that I could make it but in the end, I gave it a miss. My spine and thighs are aching after yesterday's Yoga lesson. My hands feel shaky too. My arms are already weak. But hopefully, doing all those postures, it will help to strengthen my arms. Once again, I apologise to the BB gang.

So, Mummy brought me to Shaw House to get my new uniforms. It's not cheap. Then we window-shopped for a little while and Mummy got me this white-greyish pair of slippers. I love it! And while trying on, I realised that my feet is very long and broad. I don't really like it broad, but when I think of Mummy's theory, it makes me feel a little better. (Mummy's theory: Broad feet can stand steady.)

Oh, and on the way back to PS, I found some funny things, from the Caucasians.

Funny fact #1
There was this super tall and round Caucasian, a man. His legs are cute! HA! The lower part of his legs has no hair but from that particular area upwards, his legs has hair. I was smiling to myself when I saw that. Hee! :D

P.S. Let me make this clear. I'm not a pervert or psycho, it's just that you know, I'm sometimes observant or inquisitive about people's dressing/behaviour, then I find out some funny/cute things.

Ok, I can't remember the other one. But the above one is really cute. Oh, and at Orchard Road, while making our way to Somerset MRT, Mummy and I saw this man who is crumpler branded. His bag, is crumpler and there was this red coloured bag, with crumpler printed on one of its faces. I found the red bag really interesting. It's really cute! :D

-

For lunch, it was LJS, again. I'm not sick of it. I love their chicken! Crunch, and tasty! ;) But this is not the main point. Beside my table was a round table with 3 girls. From my observation, they are still in primary school. I wondered why they were there, alone @ Orchard. I mean, when I was at their age, I've never been to Orchard w/o my family members. Well, maybe the times have changed. Who knows. Then there was this girl, when she came back from the Ladies, she was holding 2 eggs. (I don't know if its already cooked or raw) And she gave them to her friends. On the egg, she wrote some words. I think, it's kinda sweet. If she can decorate the egg, it'll be nicer. But it's a little weird, to give your friends....an EGG? HAHA! ;)

Ok, going to watch Triumph In The Skies in a few minutes time. Yes, Samuel is the First Chinese Captain! I find him really charming :D

Actually, I find all men who wear those kind of uniform, be it pilot, army, or whatever uniforms there are, I find them smart and somehow, in a way, charming. I mean, you must also have the looks la, then I consider handsome. I don't mind my husband to be a pilot. He will be super handsome and smart when he wears his uniform. And also, I find that those men who wears those uniform, they are super fit, physically & mentally. It's like, they give people that kind of "I'm super fit and strong" kind of feel. Yeah. How nice if next time I can be an air-stewardess and my husband is a pilot. Wahahaha, that's is just heavenly!

That's all for this entry.

Goodnight =)



A Happy Morning! ;)

This morning, after having some exercise, I went to the doctor. Ok, and the most entertaining thing that kept me occupied while waiting for Doc Angela to come, was an article from a medical kind of magazine. The article was about short forms that we teenagers use nowadays. And I was giggling my head off, because it's really funny. And I don't even know of such abbreviations until I read the article.


#1: Funny & Smart abbreviations

a) PhD: Permanent Head Damage (or) Piles High and Deep
b) PMS: Well, it's not Pre-Menstrual Syndrome. It's... Plainly Men Suck
c) tgif: Thank God it's Friday
d) osim: Oh Shit, it's Monday! (from my mom)

P.S. I apologise for the vulgaritites used. Pardon me, because it's from the magazine. And I just though it is funny and I would want to share with you all ;)

Alright, here are the more intellectual ones used by doctors. Hoho, check out the inside information. In the doctor language, 5-HIT (or) 5-HT means: SHIT. And another term for calling a patient dumb/stupid is: 45C. Let me explain this. In our human body, we have 23 pairs of chromosomes, which makes up 46 chromosomes. And then when we are short of one, it means it's not complete. Thus, making us stupid. (it's along the line, from the article)

#2: Young boy from Maris Stella w his Dad

Ok, when I entered, there was this father and son. Like father like son, both of their size looks similar. I don't mean anything mean, but really the young boy, name Antonio (not sure of the spelling but when it's pronounced, it's An-to-nio) is chubby and adorable in his funny/quizzical behaviours. I'll name a few later. His father, uhm, quite big size. Both of them are cute in a way- their size. I think chubby people looks cute.

#3: Antonio's funny/quizzical behaviour

a) Making vomitting noises (I don't know why, maybe he is sick? -shrugs)

b) The way he asked the nurse what time Doc Angela is coming, is really funny. Because he is still a young boy, he still somehow speak in a whiny manner. You know, small children. Yeah.

c) While Antonio's dad was at the counter, collecting his medicine, Antonio was facing the glass door, & he was exhaling so that there was some mist formed on the door, and then he cleaned it away. When I saw him doing that, I was really thinking "Why in the world is this young boy doing that? Cleaning the door?" It's really quizzical. Oh, and 1 of the nurses was also laughing at Antonio.

d) At the counter, there was a piece of paper lying on the table and Antonio was blowing & blowing. Then one fine blow, blow until so hard, and the paper flew and landed on the other end of the table. And his dad, I don't know. Really funny. He told Antonio not to do it anymore. Ok, this is not funny but when I see them together, it tickles me! :D

Antonio, Antonio, you are a really funny, happy-go-lucky boy with really weird behaviours but your behaviours, bring smiles to people ;) Doesn't Antonio give you a kind of Italian feel? I find that Antonio is a nice name. How nice if Daddy has a Christian name, then our whole family will have Christian names starting with the alphabet "A". But Antonio doesn't suit Daddy. Hee!

Good luck to those who are taking grading exam! :D



Science. Yeah! :D

It's been a long, tiring, and busy day for me. My tuition started today ;) I enjoy it, at least I'm doing something rather than rotting at home like some would say. Once again, I overslept :( I don't know what is happening to me, this is my second time that I overslept. Urghh. Then I rushed like a crazy woman, and I just gobbled down a slice of walnut cake and drank a cup of water. Fortuantely, bus 113 came just right when I was making my way to the bus-stop. So, thank you Lord! ;) Anyh, it's great to see Sophie again. Haha, & Mrs Selva is kind funny and cool :D

Physics from 0915-1045, homed and off for Chemistry in the afternoon, 1300-1430. Homed again, & had a shower and off I went again to meet Jin Le, Ping See, Grace & Fiona for our early dinner @ Macs. Ok, the service there is not really good. I mean, I ordered nuggets and they didn't even give me any curry sauce. And for the serviettes, Ping See and I ordered together and she just gave us a piece of pathetic serviette. How odd can it go man. Well, I think their service needs much more improvement. Besides there was this guy, who was asking people to buy " Helping Hand", for charitable purposes. When I finished ordering, he came to the couter and asked if I wanted to buy one. And I asked him, "What's Helping Hand?" And he just stared at Orange hand (pasted on the cash register, facing customers) and just read from there. I mean, if he wants to promote/ ask people to donate, I really think he should know what is the purpose of doing it. One needs to know what he/she is doing, before telling/promoting the product to others, ain't it? Another weird encounter @ Macs. Nevermind =/

Mmm, then we took train down to Serangoon and made our way to Bradell Heights CC. We had some problems finding the CC. But on our way, we saw a big field and we saw someone kite-flying. It's really nice to see the kite flying higher and higher. I still remember I went kite-flying about 7 years ago? I'm not really sure when, but it's a good experience ;)

Then guzheng talk is quite good, but sometimes the atmosphere was a little low and somehow, it felt a little boring. But when Zhao Lao Shi said something funny, the whole atmosphere shoots up in a sense, & everyone will giggle/laugh. Heee! And boy, he is real good! & he is now a member of Blue Ocean Organisation. & we had some kind of masterclass kind of thing, similar to piano. i.e. A student goes up and play and Zhao Lao Shi will correct the mistakes/tell them ways to improve their way of playing. Oh, and today I saw quite a number of our seniors ;) But I didn't talk to them, just waved or said hello.

Yesterday is a nervous & leg/back breaking day, for me. Early in the morning, there was my guzheng grading examination. It went quite fine (I suppose), but I made a few mistakes here and there. But the examiner, he looks young (compared to the photo in the notice), with his black black hair. Haha! I know, Grace don't think wai ok. You are the one who think until so far. Hohoho ;) Next was piano replacement lesson. Quite ok, Mr Lee said that I got the hang of the new piece really quickly. So, yay! :D

And in the evening, I went to Vivocity with my family. Mmm, we didn't manage to walk finish. The place is super humongous! But really, I think it's better than Orchard. There are all the shops, for youngsters/teens, kids, adults. Just to name a few: Mango, Topman, Topshop, Adidas, Nike, Crocs, ZARA. Blah blah blah~

Ok, & there was some kind of electricity trip yesterday @ Vivo. We were coming down by the escalator and suddenly the area that we were at (I think the level), went dark. Power supply, gone. And the escalator, kinda jerked. Lucky I held onto the railing. Amanda nearly fell. I mean, nobody expects this kind of thing to happen. And the cute/funny thing that I find is that at the moment when the place turned dark, almost everyone said "Ooooohhhhh". Haha! So cute! ;)

Oh ohohoh! I just remembered! Suddenly! Haha! Well, after Vivo, we decided to go to PS for our dinner. After dinner, Mummy decided to buy milkshake. And and and, at that time, she was kinda rushing because she has the urge to visit the toilet and so she gave me $4. I thought she gave me $4 too. And I went off to the counter to order 2 strawberry milkshake. Little did I know that, lo and behold, I'm actually short of $0.50! I tell you, that moment was just OMG OMG OMG. I had 2 alternatives. 1) change my order 2) tell the lady that I'm short of $0.50 and I need to wait for my mother. Thank God, Amanda rushed to the Ladies and asked Mummy for a dollar and there, I was saved because the lady took quite long to make the milkshake. Heee! Thank God man! :D
